The video below was first posted on Bruins Nation. It's from last weekend's Cal-UCLA game in Berkeley and is one of the most disgusting displays I've seen in quite some time.

It's from the Cal student section where a group of Cal fans attempt to beat the hell out of some kid wearing UCLA colors. Turns, the poor kid was, in fact, a Cal student. As someone even yells out during the melee, "We all go to the same school, you fucking dumb asses!"

Sadly this almost happened in Michigan Stadium in the student section this weekend as well. As 4 guys and 1 girl in Section 31 Row 33 tried their damn-dest to make the game living hell for everyone. They also continued to provoke the crowd by popping one if not two of the many beach balls be batted around in the student section.

Mostly strong words were exchanged and small pushing match, until they realized how out numbered they were.

As far as beach balls (plural, too) at football games, wtf? This isn't a Single A minor league team running gimmicks to get fans to attend. Beach balls at college football games.... Sure, I've seen it, but it's rare. Kids must sneak them in under their Old Navy hoodies up there. You don't see that shit much down here at all. Most folks attend to watch the action on the field and damn right they get popped if they get in the way of the action.

I wonder if the kid swinging like Jason Giambi was drunk? I think he had a few too many "Natural Lights" before the game. What a dope. I would not, however, blame the university. What control do they have over a drunk A--hole? It happens everywhere and it sucks.

This actually does happen at Michigan Stadium, but fights don't break out. This year there have been a good amount of away fans taunting the Michigan fanbase. I sit in the student section and I sometimes get a little pissed these kids don't stick up for the school.

During the Wisconsin game, there was a lone Badger sitting in front of our row and was saying some really stupid things. I was finally tired of it and let him have it, but just for the sake of the kid to realize what the hell he was doing. He blew up on me and tried to start a fight (I'm a small guy with a fast mouth) but quickly realised I go to football games with 20 pretty fanatical students. Found out he was there with about 5 of his Michigan friends and they finally pulled him back, realizing he was being a complete prick.

I'm proud of how Michigan handles these situations but would like to see at least a moderate amount of defense for your school. Some of these kids are too passive and they need to realize that you don't have to fight the guy to shut em up. You can talk shit in a mature way. I'm sure this relates to crowd intensity as well.

Same thing happened in Section 27, row 37, mgb94. Some very intoxicated frat boy decided that while he didn't so much care about football, he did desperately need to fight someone. When no guys would fight him, he ended up pushing a girl, at which point a few of his brothers finally told him to calm down.

And Phil in the Deuce - Wisconsin fans talk shit no matter where they are. And I mean that literally: in one of their home game chants, half the student yells "eat shit!" to the other half, which then responds with "fuck you!" And we thought the "see-ya" chant was bad.
